Did the United States ever operate the Fairey Swordfish?
Short answerNo; the Swordfish preserved in Texas is a museum aircraft, not evidence of US wartime service.
NotesThe presence of a surviving Swordfish in Texas prompts a question about American service. The United States did not operate the aircraft. The Texas example belongs to museum preservation rather than to a US Navy wartime inventory. The distinction prevents an airframe's present location from being mistaken for its operational provenance.
